Squeaking Belt

Squeaking Belt
Tonight while at work, one of my belts was squeaking. When I tried to drive off to see if it would stop, the car stalled. The car is in great shape, except for the A/C, it doesn't work. Would I need a new belt? The air filter is also very clogged, not sure if that has anything to do with it though.

Were you able to restart after it stalled?
Take the A/C belt off if it is still there. The bearings in the compressor and idler pulleys turn all the time the engine is running even if A/C is not on, and the bearing could have gone bad.
Of course a new air filter would be worth it too. That's not going to cause squeaking though.

definatly clean ur air filter or get a new one... that isnt good for ur motor, it blocks airflow. they have a spray called belt dressing, just coat ur belt with that and it will stop the squeeking..
